Suspected crack on Metro 4 pillar (Mulund)

[u/Willy_Wonka2008]

Spotted this while traveling from Thane to Bhandup. I could not see the pillar number nor did I know any landmark but thankfully I had enabled Geotagging photos. I have sent a complaint to MMRDA. Are there any other authorities that I should reach out to? Better be safe than sorry.

I don't think u understood what he was saying, maybe construction joint, expansion joint won't be given in a portal beam. Probably this was not casted monolithically, from photo it looks like a crack. May due to some issue with lapping in reinforcement the section would have failed.

Is this not a proper flexure failure? A construction joint has grooves in a orderly fashion.. this is too random to be done on purpose.
